You just had to do it didn't you - LOL!
The grips are outstanding...

My grips were custom made from Honduran Rosewood Burl.

Didn't I make you some handles for that long ago? Don't tell me they went to the wood stove on a cold winter......Mine technically don't qualify as a BBQ gun as I carry it more than any other, have for several years.

I never took advantage of your expert services.
VBOBs the only 1911 I've got...

If I get a second one (1911)? You will get the call :)

Dang, I still don't have enough functioning brain cells to overcome my new found case of lessdyxia... I thought the thread title was "BB Guns"! Pleasant surprise :)

It's perfectly acceptable to have more than one set of handles for any gun. No jealousy involved. Dao changes grips like many change their under britches. No worries there.

I haven't made a set of grip in a very long time, have made a bunch. Some I've completely forgotten.

My VBOB grips were made by Mr. Ryan Payne aka The Sarge of "The Finer Grain".
Great guy and great handmade grips from exotic wood.
Retired ~2019.
Believe my grips may have been some of the last he made...

Nice.
I've thought about an engraved gun.
Haven't yet scratched that itch...

My four revolvers are Pre-lock double action Smith & Wesson guns.
Someday I may need a sweet SA revolver like that as well...
This is my shiniest wheel gun -

I've got some fancy grips for it.
But like these for concealed carry.
Ironically I actually carried this six shooter earlier today - LOL!
The speed loaders are spring loaded JetLoaders :cool:
Guess it would work in a pinch for a BBQ gun?

And this could be my BBQ backup gun!

I have a real fondness for those tracker knives. Don't have one but always wanted one.

My son-in-law is an avid hunter and loves real stag stuff.
So for a wedding gift I got him one of these :cool:
It was well received - LOL!

Now that makes my britches stick way out in front. I'm a stag addict myself. PM me where you found that. I might just have to have one of them.

That looks like a 65 and a 640, my two favorites. My 686 is at S&W for some fixin', otherwise it would probably be my BBQ gun.

You have a good eye for detail.
65-3 3" Heavy Barrel and a 640-1 snubbie.
I like running medium velocity Winchester PDX1 125 gr 357 Mag in these guns.

That should provide a satisfying thump in the 65 without excessive fatigue. My 65-5 is 3" with the same grips. Great minds think alike. I've never tried .357 in my 640.
